A review by shreyas1599
Memory Man by David Baldacci

4.0

My first baldacci book. I was looking for something fast-paced with no beating around the bush. By beating around the bush, I mean long-drawn depictions of everyday activity. Essentially, something that would gloss over all the boring aspects of a detective novel. While they have their place in a book, I was not in search of something of the sort (for the moment). This book satisfied most of my criteria.

A couple of things bugged me. The reasons for the overarching plot did not make a lot of sense. And in a few places throughout the book, conclusions were just attributed to an eidetic memory. While the main character does have an infallible memory, in a few places the attribution gave off the impression of lazy/hurried writing. Nevertheless, my attention was held throughout the book and I kept wanting to sift through the pages.

I enjoyed the read!
